Sanctara is not merely a nation — it is a consecrated realm. Built upon the traditions of the Apostolic Church, Sanctara rises as a bastion of order, reverence, and divine mandate. Under the rule of Dominic IV, the Sacred Dominion stands apart from the chaos of the secular world, drawing strength from its sacraments, its scriptures, and its sword.
Ours is a kingdom where incense rises before missiles. Where altars and arsenals coexist. And where sovereignty is not seized — it is bestowed by grace.
In the wake of a global moral collapse and the fragmentation of once-great empires, a remnant faithful sought refuge in the highlands of an abandoned continent. There, beneath the ancient bells of a ruined cathedral, they declared a new beginning — one not of revolution, but restoration.
These founders, comprised of exiled clergy, monks, and Catholic nobility, proclaimed the birth of Sanctara — a holy dominion set apart from modern decay. The first ruler, Dominic I, crowned under the authority of the College of Prelates, swore to defend both the Word and the Wall — to protect the spiritual and territorial integrity of the realm.
Now in its fourth generation, Sanctara under Dominic IV is a fortified faith-state, whose laws are written in canon and whose banners bear not the face of a man, but the emblem of Heaven.
Geography
Continent:
South America
Land Area:
64,373.60 sq. km
Terrain:
The terrain of Sanctara reflects its sacred character. The Apostolic Highlands in the north cradle the capital, Sanctus Regnum, a fortified city built around the Grand Cathedral and Monastic Seat of Power. The Marian Valley spreads below with fertile soil and holy springs, feeding both body and spirit through agriculture and pilgrimage. To the west lies the Vale of Gracia, home to peaceful monasteries and scriptoriums, while the Sanctified Woods in the northwest are preserved for hermits, ascetics, and religious training. On the eastern coast, Porto Angelico stands as the nation’s lifeline to the sea — a majestic harbor fortified by angelic statues and watchtowers. In the sun-scorched Ardent Reach, where martyrs once fell, the Church now trains its elite military orders, including the Custodes Lucis and the Order of the Sanctified Banner.

Climate:
Sanctara’s climate mirrors its sacred geography: diverse, intentional, and bound by providence. In the north, the Apostolic Highlands experience a cool alpine climate, with snowy winters and crisp summers. This region is home to mountain monasteries and the capital, Sanctus Regnum, where thick stone keeps and gothic cathedrals are built to withstand howling winds and spiritual solitude. Pilgrims who ascend its slopes find both penance and peace in the highland air.
To the south and center lies the Marian Valley, Sanctara’s temperate heartland. It enjoys a Mediterranean climate with warm, dry summers and mild, rainy winters. The valley’s fertile soil nourishes wheat, olives, figs, and lavender—harvested in rhythms set to feast days and blessings. Rain is considered a divine gift; when the valley floods, the clergy process barefoot through the fields in prayerful thanks.
The Vale of Gracia and Sanctified Woods to the west remain cooler and more humid year-round, with heavy morning mists and steady rainfall. These regions foster dense pine forests, vineyards, and isolated hermitages hidden beneath cypress canopies. By contrast, the Ardent Reach in the far south holds a dry semi-arid climate, where scorching summer sun and long droughts shape the sandstone chapels and military outposts stationed there. Only the most devout orders and hardened soldiers train in its heat, calling it the Furnace of Faith.
Along the eastern coast, sea winds temper the climate of Porto Angelico, bringing mild humidity and vibrant trade winds. Storms are frequent in winter but are seen as tests of faith, and the bells of coastal churches ring through the rain like a challenge to the sea. Every region of Sanctara reflects its divine architecture — not only in stone, but in sky and season.

Economy
Description:
Sanctara operates a guided moral economy—a hybrid system rooted in free market structures but subject to strict ecclesiastical oversight. Commerce is allowed, but always within the bounds of canon law and moral doctrine. Industries are taxed through tithes rather than secular levies, with all major financial decisions requiring blessing from the Curia Mercatoria, a council of ordained economists and theologians.
Usury is outlawed. Speculative finance is condemned. Workers are guaranteed rest on all holy days, and labor guilds—known as Laborum Fraternitates—are organized by trade and moral standing. Property is private but consecrated; land is owned in trust by the Church and leased to faithful stewards.
The economy favors sustainability over profit and virtue over volume. Monasteries produce essential goods, while artisans maintain guild standards enforced by virtue courts. Foreign trade is limited but tolerated, with only pre-approved merchants allowed to operate within Sanctaran ports. Corruption is punished not merely by law—but by excommunication.

Industries:
Sanctara's economy is anchored by sacred production and agrarian dignity. Major industries include:
Viticulture & Holy Winemaking: Vineyards tended by monks and lay laborers produce sacramental wine and high-grade vintages for limited export.
Manuscript & Bookbinding Arts: Monastic scriptoria produce illuminated texts, scrolls, and theological treatises prized across the continent.
Stonework & Ecclesial Architecture: Cathedral construction and restoration are major employment sectors, blending artisan skill with spiritual merit.
Pilgrimage Infrastructure: Sanctara receives thousands of pilgrims yearly, fueling a modest religious tourism sector centered around shrine cities and holy relics.
Military Equipment Forging: Blacksmithing orders produce armor, swords, and reliquary-grade metals for ceremonial and battlefield use.
Apothecary Goods & Herbal Medicine: Natural remedies cultivated by cloistered herbalists serve both Sanctaran citizens and foreign buyers.
Commerce is moralized—anything not aligning with Catholic virtue (e.g., gambling, usury, sensual art, or secular entertainment) is banned outright. Imports are scrutinized by the Office of Virtue Inspection.
Military
History:
Sanctara’s military is not a standing army of conquest, but a sanctified defense force of divine oath and discipline. Known collectively as the Ordo Custodis (Order of the Guardians), the military is divided into several arms:
Custodes Lucis (Guardians of Light): Elite heavy infantry sworn to lifelong service. Each is trained in both combat and catechism.
Order of the Sanctified Banner: Mounted cavalry and ceremonial guard, often deployed in border defense and diplomatic procession.
The Vigil Apostolica: Sanctara’s secretive intelligence arm, responsible for rooting out heresy, espionage, and foreign subversion.
Ecclesial Navy: Small but formidable, based in Porto Angelico, tasked with defending pilgrim fleets and sacred waters.
Training grounds are located in Thornreach and the Ardent Reach, where the harsh landscape forges both body and spirit. All soldiers take the Oath of St. Ignatius, swearing fidelity to God, Church, and Sovereign.
Sanctara does not engage in foreign wars unless holy sites or innocent believers are in danger. When it does, it does so with righteous fury—under banners soaked in incense and steel.
